Thames & Kosmos has sold out of Imhotep, following the game's Spiel Des Jahres nomination.

Having landed in April this year, the game has been in high demand for game stores and now stock has entirely sold out.

The game was also well received at the UK Games Expo, with a queue of people waiting to play throughout the weekend.

'The nominee announcement has brought Thames and Kosmos increased interest, including additional international customers, and sales have been rocketing for other game titles too,' read a statement from the firm.
